Hey. I'm looking buy a set of race leathers for trackdays and I've never owned a set before. I see custom made (likely orient somewhere) suits for under 400$. I see suits all the way up to several thousand dollars. I want a safe, legit set but I don't want to have to spend more than necessary.

When I punch "motorcycle racing leather suit" into Google, eBay, etc.... there are tons of choices including knock-offs and all.

I'm looking for some experienced input.

Thanks.
 
Get some 2nd hand ones - $400 for custom leathers = thin poorly stitched junk.
 
There used to be a guy that went by Barnacle bill that used to have used suits I think...I know he does repairs to them. Money spent on a suit is money well spent
and the better the suit the higher the price. They have freaking air bags in them now ! A well made suit will last for yrs if you don't chew it up on a crash. If I was to but a new one now days I would go with Alpinestars or Dainese..
